WAAAAAAAAAGH!
My teams were pretty much all painted now, I had even got those spiky disks poked at. I really didn't know what their purpose in life was but I assumed they were some sort of trackers for something in the actual game, like heat levels in BattleTech but for unsportslike behaviour. Now I painted the bases with my other Soviet green (VMA 71281 3B Russian Green). Their rims, as always, I painted in black grey. Now they were much nicer to look at.
At some point I had painted some cat- or snakelike pupils to the squig eyes, and now used Vallejo's gloss varnish on those and their tongues, and the sunglass lenses of the blue team's troll.
Static grassification
My colleague Jesse said that he haid some idle static garss that I could freely use to try it out. I accepted the offer and had a bit of a chat about how does this crap even get used, I had never touched this product so far. Based on that I prepared the grounds with diluted white glue, sprinkled static grass in abundance. Right away I knocked off the most excesses, and left them cure overnight.
Gaming zoning's linings
The next day I knocked more loose stuff off, and cut a piece of a wooden ice cream stick to use as a line stamper. I had never seen a Blood Bowl playground so I made this thing based on my gut feeling. Stamping was simple: I coated a lenght of the piece with off-white (VMA 71318 Greyish White) and pressed it on to make the line on the grass.
Some of my gaming lines were neater than some others. There'd been way too much to mask for airbrushing, and a colleague had suggested using clingfilm but I felt too lazy for that.
Matt varnish
As soon as the paint had cured I used super matt varnish on the bases. Otherwise the static grass glistened a bit too much, and this also sealed the bases even more than the already had white glue.
